Building a handheld device that can be considered a "Universal communicator" will require that engineering teams consider the many challenges that will face its development. The result of that evolutionary process will be a new class of devices that will use multiple networks to transparently connect users with information and services. Intel is developing a core set of technology building blocks - called Adaptive Communication Technologies - that will enable seamless, transparent connectivity and advance efforts at universal connectivity and communication. Concept platforms like the Universal Communicator handset prototype provide a research platform for the development, integration, and validation of these technologies.
